Liver abscess is endemic in resource-limited countries such as The Gambia where access to advanced imaging techniques or modern treatment modalities is limited. Despite this, mortality in this cohort was low. Therefore antibiotic therapy combined with percutaneous abscess drainage remains a reasonable treatment strategy of liver abscess in resource-poor settings.
肝脓肿在冈比亚等资源有限的国家流行,这些国家获得先进的影像学技术或现代治疗方式的机会有限。尽管如此,该队列的死亡率仍然较低。因此,抗生素治疗联合经皮脓肿引流仍然是资源匮乏环境中肝脓肿的合理治疗策略。
